Why bother? They grow wild all over the countryside and are so easy to pick. They are also a tiresome and aggressive shrub in a small garden, needing annual cutback to keep them under control, which reduces flower and fruit.
If you really must, they are also one of the easiest to propagate. Just stick a whole row of small cuttings into the ground and turn your back.
